Rheological behaviour of polyurethane prepolymers as potting compound for hollow fibre haemodialyzer
The effect of reaction conditions on the rheological behaviour of various polyurethane prepolymer as potting compound for fabrication of hollow fibre haemodialyzer has been studied by means of a Brookfield viscometer. Depending on the monomers used and reaction conditions, dilatant and pseudoplastic behaviour is noticed. Bulk polymerized prepolymers based on HDI/castor oil, SMDI/castor oil and HDI/polypropylene glycol exhibit pseudoplastic character, which are favourable for easy dispensibility, non-wicking and good dispersion in potting of hollow fibre.
